Precautions
• If your car was parked in direct sunlightresulting in a considerable rise in temperatureinside the car, allow the unit to cool off beforeoperating it.
• If no power is being supplied to the unit,check the connections first. If everything is in
order, check the fuse.• If no sound comes from the speakers of a
two-speaker system, set the fader control tothe center position.
•When the tape is played back for a longperiod, the cassette may become warm because of the built-in power amplifier.However, this is not a sign of malfunction.
If you have any questions or problemsconcerning your unit that are not covered inthis manual, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
To maintain high quality soundIf you have drink holders near your audioequipment, be careful not to splash juice orother soft drinks onto the car audio. Sugaryresidues on this unit or cassette tapes maycontaminate the playback heads, reduce thesound quality, or prevent sound reproductionaltogether.Cassette cleaning kits cannot remove sugar
from the tape heads.
Notes on Cassettes
Cassette care
•Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, asany dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.
•Keep cassettes away from equipment with built-in magnets such as speakers andamplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the
recorded tape could occur.•Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight,
extremely cold temperatures, or moisture.•Slack in the tape may cause the tape to be
caught in the machine. Before you insert thetape, use a pencil or a similar object to turnthe reel and take up any slack.
•Distorted cassettes and loose labels can causeproblems when inserting or ejecting tapes.Remove or replace loose labels.
• The sound may become distorted whileplaying the cassette. The cassette player headshould be cleaned after each 50 hours of use.
Cassettes longer than 90 minutesThe use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes isnot recommended except for long continuousplay. The tape used for these cassettes is verythin and tends to stretch easily. Frequent
playing and stopping of these tapes may causethem to become entangled in the cassette deckmechanism.
